PAMHO PAMHO PAMHO! 

Camila R., 20 años, Santiago-Chile, Social Work Student :) ! 

¿How is Tenessee ?
¿How is H.H feeling? :) 

I don't know if you remember me, I'm Camila, I'm from Chile, but I was on your Vyasa Puja in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Then I came back to Chile, to take mooooooore mercy of you ! :P 

4 principles are right !  16 rounds per day also!  

Since you left I couldn't have the opportunity to retake Mangala Aratik, because I was with my family on vacations, and sometimes we had to stay awake up lateeee. Also, we did some SANKIRTAN in Viña Del Mar ! :) :) :) :)  Very amazing, I don't know if i'm quite comfortable with that service, I'm a little shy and approaching to people on the street is akward for me!  But, we're trying...now in February we're going  to the South of Chile with some matajis to do Sankirtan! :) Please give me your bleessings to serve properly to Srila Prabhupada.  

Now, I've fixed my administrations issues with the temple, so in that way I will be able to take refugee at to your lotus feet :) :) :) (if you let me, of course) ... In 6 months, I will be recommended by the temple to do that.  I took the service of bath Srila Prabhupada, and change the clothes of Him every Friday in the morning (6 AM).
I hope to develop some attachment to Srila Prabhupada, or some kind of real devotion... I really want that, I'm Thankfull...but is not enough, I really want to have faith and attachment at Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet. 
We're reading Vaisnava Compassion (very nice book, Satsvarupa Das Goswami), and Bhagavad-gita everyday. 

I really want to tell you so many things, spiritual things, but I don't want to bother you with my stuff.  Please accept my sincere obeisances at your feet. 
I'm very thankfull for all that H.H did... is amazing the power! of a pure Devotee, because of you I'm feeling very inspiring and full of enthusiasm to serve at Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission. THANKS, THANKS, THANKS, THANKS, THANKS... my entire life will not be enough to thank you, and to thank Srila Prabhupada. 

Please forgive my BAD english, I'm going to improve it, so I'll exprese myself in a better way... 

I have many questions, but I'm going to send one per month ! It's okay? I can do that? 

1 question:  I'm not able to go everyday to the temple for Mangal Aratik, I don't have deites...only photos, I can do the full program (Guru astaka, Tulsi Puja, NOD, Govinda, Guru Puja & SB) at my place?

              HpS - ASA -- Yes, certainly!

...and Starting to read SB all by myself in my home?

                Read alone but also get a partner and read at home then discuss what you read with theyou meet.

What do you think about that? 

I hope you are well... Sorry again for my bad english, and for this LONG letter. I promise that the next one is not going to be  that loooong. 

HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA 
KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE  
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA
RAMA RAMA HARE HARE  (RADHE!!!!) 

HpS - ASA -- Yes, after write, rewrite like three times!

Mis repetuosas reverencias a Srila Prabhupada¡¡¡

Mis respetuosas reverencias a Su Santidad ¡¡¡

Maharaja, estuve de viaje y descuide de leer el Srimad Bhagavatam, por unos dias. Continuo cantando 3 rondas temprano, y durante el día llego a 16 Maharaja; todavia no puedo evitar el deseo sexual  siempre estoy orando por que pueda seguirlos siempre ;cantando artik en el dia y en la noche, tomando siempre prasadam, dibujando y daliendo a Sankirtan a veces.

              ASA - TLGASP. Necesita mas adoracion de deidades. Banando cada dia, cambiando ropa etc. Con idea de Krsna como persona, idea del cuerpo como persona disminuir, deseos sexuales, raros.

Lectura de libros: Maharaja, en el Krishna Book vamos junto con mi abuelita en "Oraciones  de los Vedas personificados" por segunda vez; en el Néctar de la Devocion, estoy en el capitulo cuarenta por tercera vez ; en el SB : en el primer canto capitulo tres, por segunda vez; en el BG : en el capitulo 14  por segunda vez.

Maharaja, un curandero me curo y hecho de mi a los malos espiritus que estaban en mi cuerpo; desde ahi me di cuenta que esa energia que sentia en mi era un bhuta, y me di cuenta que para percibir a Paramatma necesito purificarme mas, ahora estoy mejor y ya no me siento peresozo, recien se me da por bañarme. Maharaja ahora puedo dejar de tomar los medicamentos, es que estos medicamentos tambien arruinan mi estomago y me causa estreñimiento.

Maharaja, mi abuelita se volvio mas devota y se ha interesado mas en la vida espiritual, y ha desarrollado cierto conocimiento y determinacion, siempre esta cantando 16 rondas, y a veces hasta hace muchas más; ella sabe leer pero no mucho, por eso le  leo todos los dias,  cantamos los artik juntos, ella sigue los principios mejor que yo y siempre toma prasadam.

                           HpS - ASA -- Muy bien!!!  Unos fotos de sus dibujos??

AGT SRILA PRABHUPADA!

Agt Nitay y Gauranga!
Please accept my humble obeisances! 
Hare Krsna Maharaja, I am Bhakta pablo of Parikrama from Spain. 
I hope You are very well in all aspects when you receive this letter. And I hope that Krsna give many blessings and protection. 
I wanted to comment that I was talking with 24 Kirtan Mayapur, for the requirement, few problems if there is continuous chanting, but I think maybe it´s better when my duties are done, (what is your opinion?). 

ASA - Don't  know?

I remain firm with the idea of dedicating a Sankirtana traveler, (it's okay for me?) Is good for a devotee like me use book distribution for to keep me ?? 
        ASA - Could be. Have to know the details!

Soon will be the Vyasa-puja of Jayapataka Maharaja, and as you know I love him a lot too, (you 2 have my heart) and I would like to write this year by Vyasa-puja as well-wisher and want ask  to accept my be my Siksa-guru, is it correct that prompted this?,  You reviewer?, looks it good, my request is correct?? .... The truth, not know how it goes...

    ASA - Of course, is very nice.
 

Few days ago I read a very nice Bhakti Caru Maharaja text in which he spoke that in Krsna consciousness one can ask questions about Krsna, God, without being ugly and not as in other religions .. etc, Prabhupada said "ask, I have the answer "and so, and at the end says" Just like a subject has to be Studied Systematically Following specific books, under the guidance of qualified teachers, This process has to be Studied also Following a specific syllabus under the guidance of the qualified . teachers ", my question is please, which means" Studied Following a specific syllabus ... "?? 

           ASA - It may be this idea of Bhakti Sastri, Bhakti vaibhava, Bhakti vedanta that Srila Prabhupada suggested. Look at the Introduction to SB you will see life of Lord Caitanya and Prabhupada says that he doesn't include all the discussions between Lord Caitanya and Ramananda Raya because they are for more advanced devotees.

Thank you so much for everything Maharaja, and forgive me for so long robe. 
At His feet. 
Bhakta Paul. 
Hare Krsna.

Todas Las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj por favor reciba mis respetuosas reverencias, seguimos en el servicio de asistentes de pujaris, ahora me levanto a las 2 am y canto 10 rondas de Japa junto a mi esposa Nadiya Nivasi, despues pasamos a realizar nuestro servicio en el templo, en el resto de la mañana terminamos nuestras 16 rondas antes de las 9 y 30 am, despues cantamos algunas rondas extras, también siguiendo los 4 principios, leyendo el Caitanya Caritamrta y el Bhagavad - Gita, Mangal Artik en el templo.

Aprendiendo a entender y valorar el servicio a las Deidades, tambíén sabiendo relacionarnos con los devotos del pujari de una manera respetuosa y aprendiendo  mucho de ellos.

A  LAS   SILAS  LES   GUSTA   MUCHO   EL   DULCE  Y  TAMBIÉN  EL  SANKIRTAN!!!

¿como esta su salud? ¿vendra por segunda ves a Perú este año 2014?. Bueno Guru Maharaj me despido que Krsna y Balarama lo protejan mucho, un abrazo. Hare Krsna.

Gadai Gauranga Das

AGTSP. Paoho. Gracias los benos noticios, as, is....  Diedades y Libros, dos lineas del ferril caril. Necesitamos amobs. pero por es Kali yuga, Sankirtan tiene que dirigir la adoracion de Deidad.

Pienso vamos a Sud America como Marzo, 2015. Vds tiene que visitar aqui. Despues de un tiempo vamos todo perdir nuestro movimiento. La conneccion es por la corazon.  Zooom!   Zooooooom!

Nos vemos!!!

Hare Krishna!

Through youtube I got introduced to the preachings of HH Hanumat Presaka Swami and have been deeply inspired.

I also found a treasure of his preachings on http://bhati.org/lotusfeet/ and I will consider myself very fortunate if can meet him.

So, if I can be guided to the annual itinerary for HH Hanumat Presaka Swami then I can make my plans accordingly.

Waiting in anticipation!

Bangalore, India.

              HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Paoho. Esteemed Subrat Ji. Our general schedule is in the Calendar Section of the Kapi Dhvaja, News at www.JayaRama.US.

We will be in USA until March and then go to South America for a few months then back to USA and to India in the Fall, Kartik of 2015 with a stop in Europe.

2016-17 we will be doing writing and based in USA with maybe trip to India for specific convention etc.

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupad and Gurudev.

It's been a while that I wrote anything on the blog and few changes have occured in my professional and personal life.  My personal life is going well with "Nitai Chaitanya Chadra" 's krupa. I'm regularly attending Bhakti Yoga club in VCU (weekly once) and discussing on different topics with students (from BG and Nector of Instructions). So far so good, at least 6 to 10 students became regular and we are doing Japa (small one 27 beeds) and Kirtan, a 15 to 20 minutes class and prasadam.

And also we started (past 8 weeks) a "conference call" (weekly once an hour) with devotees from different placess (join on the phone) and have a clsss primarly on BG, but we also discuss on Nector of Instruction and during festival times "Krishna Katha".

With all the above (including our regular Bhakti Vriksh) my reading became regular and I started reading BG and SB and my chanting became more focused (became my source of energy, especially when I'm puzzled).

Maharaj, Is there a posibility to consider a trip to Richmond, VA in your schedule? we are all (including our ISKCON of Richmond) sincerly requesting and we all feel blessed if you consider.

Please pardon my ignorance Maharaj, have question. In BG 9.4 Krishna says, "everything is in me, but I'm not not in them" and in Bg15.15 "I'm in everyone's heart". How do we understand these two statements Maharaj.

Always your humble servant

Subala Sakha Das

HpS - AGTSP paoho. Such nice spread of Bhagavata culture all over the world. Then greed for selfish pleasures decreases and the Earth becomes happy. 15.15 means the Paramatma, no? So Krsna is not exactly present as Gopal but as the Paramatma. It is like the person controling the front door over a security camera, but we can also consider what happens in the heart of a devotee. Like the Prince and Princess going into the prison.

We are just settling down after four months of travel. It was almost lethal, so we have to see how our body recovers. you can see the current ideas in the calendar link in the Kapi Dhvaja. We were thinking of going to Washington D. C.  How far is that from Richmond???

Thank yoiu for your association and all the work. We hope the kids are also seeing life from a high perspective!
